Today we’ve partnered with Patricia Courtouis to offer a small group workshop with five local nonprofits to help them identify and craft messages for donors using psychographic profiles. Our investments are strengthened by strong, knowledgeable nonprofits. We appreciate them!

New data suggests that institutions overestimate student awareness of key support services on their campuses. By employing specific strategies, institutions can ensure that students know as much as possible about what's available to them. ow.ly/tW8j50PWHSE

All five Sarasota foundations have made major investments in The Bay Sarasota since the planning stages. Today, we join all in celebrating “The Bay Turns One!” Congratulations to the amazing staff and board, donors, volunteers & leaders in making this One Park for All. 🦋

If you like only treats (and no tricks!) on Halloween, a trip to Easterseals SWFL is the perfect thing for you. Thanks for giving our team a chance to help the kids during the Halloween parade. It was a pleasure to see them embraced by fun costumes with candy & smiles.

Wondering what people thought about the Solutions to Actions Dive Into Discovery experience at the Turner Center in Desoto County? thepattersonfoundation.org/blog/a2a/the-d… The Patterson Foundation @AveryCPdL

📢 Attention, students! 📢 ​​ ​The 2024–25 FAFSA® form will launch in December 2023. ​ In the meantime, use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to see how much student aid you may be eligible for 👉 studentaid.gov/aid-estimator

The FAFSA Simplification Act will likely increase Pell Grant eligibility for many students. However, students with specific circumstances may see reduced eligibility, and state grant programs may need to fill the gap for students with unmet financial need. ow.ly/7kVO50Q3HNs

We're excited to have Alexa Carr join us for a few months to explore what is possible with her fresh and creative eyes! Thank you The Patterson Foundation Debra Jacobs and IU Philanthropy for such a great partnership.

We invest in capital grants for results-focused 501c3 nonprofits in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee & Sarasota counties. With our Traditional Grant cycle opening on Dec 1, it's time to schedule your discussion with Grants Manager Julie Spicer. Email [email protected].

Starting our week of thankfulness with a big note of gratitude to our board members who dedicate time to the legacy of Bill and Marie Selby, making sure that charitable organizations and students continue to be supported in ways that make all of us better.

The delayed FAFSA form means that college advisors cannot start helping students until December or even after Winter break. Advisors are urging families to begin working on the FAFSA ID now to be as prepared as possible when the new forms are released. ow.ly/zoz950Q9EZl

#GivingTuesday generates excitement around the world for the charitable causes important to you. Whether you give a little or a lot, give today or another day, or give your time or dollars, what you do makes a difference. Thank you for all of the ways you care.

Have you had a good #GivingTuesday? We're excited to announce more than $823,000 in new grants recently approved by the Selby Foundation board of directors. If you like one of the investments we made, these nonprofits can always use your support! selbyfdn.org/823035-will-be…
